Lot 1375
A Large and Impressive Metal Plate of Admiral Dewey. United States, c. 1898. The oval tray fairly deep, with facing three-quarters right bust of Dewey, distinguishedly graying and mustached, wearing his naval uniform, against muted green background. The handsome border in black and dark green, with repeated pattern of U.S. eagles, stars, and crossed flags. Plate appears to have been used for awhile, then pierced to hang on the wall. Overall condition very good, with modest rubbing to edges, and some trivial flaking of paint here and there. Nevertheless, choice condition for its size. Width: 18-1/2".
Estimated Value $250 - 400.
